250 CATALOGUE OF UNGULATES 



rufous; horns somewhat intermediate in character between 

 those of leche and maria, showing a more decided sigmoid 

 flexure than in the former. Good horns measure from 

 20 to 24 inches in length, with a girth of from 5J to 7, and 

 a tip-to-tip interval of from Hi to 18f inches. 



Kobus rolertsi is stated to occur in the same area as the 

 typical smithemani, and according to Rothschild, leche is 

 likewise found in the same district, but this is denied by 

 Letcher, who mentions that while black lechwes swarm in 

 the swamps round Lake Tumbwa, North-east Ehodesia, he 

 never observed a single example of the true lechwe. Black 

 lechwes, he observes, appear to be restricted " to the immense 

 marshes which surround Lakes Bangweolo and Mweru and 

 Tumbwa in North-eastern Ehodesia, and in some parts of the 

 Lukanga Swamp in North-western Rhodesia." A specimen 

 entered below indicates, however, the extension of the range 

 into Congo territory.
